What does "as of 4/19 shipped via convoy" mean?

It sounds like my car has been built, but other than that I have no idea what this means. I have seen references to shipped by rail, but what does shipped by convoy mean? Is there a long line of Mustangs driving east from Michigan?

I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas. Last I heard from the dealer he said it was scheduled to be built the week of 4/18 with an ETA in Massachusetts of May 1? Is there any reason to doubt that prediction or to expect an earlier delivery?

Means it was shipped by a truck to your dealer (or the train i've heard) Mine went via convoy all the way to the dealer, about 1-2 weeks

Isn't that amazing! From other posts it seems like they build about 800 a day (or was that week). Either way, it then takes them 2 weeks to get the car from Michigan to Chicago. Prarie schhoners crossed that distance in about 1/4th the time.

Can't wait.
